Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO)

Melville Johnson, P. C. is committed to helping employees fight for workplace equality. As a federal employee, you are legally protected from discrimination based upon your membership in a protected class of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability or age, to name a few. A person who files an EEO complaint or participates in an investigation of an EEO complaint, or who opposes an employment practice made illegal under any of the statutes enforced by EEOC, is also protected from retaliation. Federal employees are also protected against the denial of a reasonable workplace accommodation based upon religious beliefs or a disability. Unfortunately, this discrimination does still occur—and frequently.

At Melville Johnson, we are advocates for you as a federal employee and are here to assist you in protecting your rights and remedying the effects of discrimination in the workplace. Our EEO attorneys represent victims of discrimination nationwide, working tirelessly to achieve positive results on behalf of our clients.
